There’s nothing more we love than a carrier releasing a phone ahead of schedule. Verizon Wireless has done the impossible and released both the Motorola Q9c and BlackBerry Curve 8330 this week which beats our earlier reports. There is not much to tell when it comes to the specs on both devices since Sprint has been enjoying the Q9c for months now and the CDMA BlackBerry Curve has been leaked non-stop on the Internet. The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 is available for $269.99 on a 2 year contract after a MIR.
Verizon BlackBerry Curve 8330 Specs:
- 2.0 megapixel camera with flash and video capture (must use microSD card to capture video)
- EV-DO Rev 0 support for 3G connectivity
- VCAST TV support
- Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP stereo
- built-in MP3 Player
- 3.5mm audio port for headphones
- color: liquid silver
The second device, the Motorola Q9c is very similar to the existing Verizon Motorola Q9h, but this time it has a business focus instead of multimedia. While we are not entirely convinced it was worth launching a second Q9 into the carrier’s line up, we still appreciate the effort. The only real improvement the Motorola Q9c offers over the Q9h is the all black color which looks more professional than red accents. The Motorola MOTO Q9c can be picked up today for $199.99 on a 2 year contract without any rebates either online or in retail stores (additional $50 MIR also offered bringing the price down to $149.99)
